Intelligent Project Planning & Management

Reviews

"HyperPMA is unlike anything we've ever seen. The ability it gives us to watch and approve what is being done on our project at any given moment has been critical to our comfort level in working with our project management team. From a client's perspective, I can't imagine not having HyperPMA at the center of our project!"

Matthew D. Rizolt Marketing

"I chose my contractor because they used this project development software and after interacting with HyperPMA for almost 2 years on almost a daily basis, I am very happy I did. I would not even think about working with a contractor that did not use this software! It is just great."

"HyperPMA is without question an industry leading tool, enabling the management and the delivery of our projects. Having used HyperPMA as a client, as well as having more than 30 years of development experience on small to multiple thousand person teams, I cannot overstate the value HyperPMA provides to both the customer and developer."

Features & Benefits

HyperPMA is one of the most robust Project Management Applications in the IT Development Industry. And it is affordable. $15 per month for up to 10 active projects and 5gb of space gets you started. Unlimited staff and unlimited clients are included at every subscription level. As you grow, you can easily upgrade at any time! Do you want to increase your profitability by up to 30%? We'll show you how.

We created the application to solve a number of issues developers and their clients face daily. These include complete project planning, contract generation, project assignment, automated client statuses, client reviews and approval, post delivery support, employee/contractor time and task tracking by the hour and by the project, and multiple phase project development. Instead of both you and your clients guessing where you are in a project, we put you in the "know" and we do it instantly, from ALL perspectives.

One of the first goals of HyperPMA was to create a planning method that was lightning fast, focused, accurate, and in a manner that clients would easily understand. The first part of the planning process allows you to create a website or application outline. This gives a page inventory and workflow that you can present to your client without investing a lot of time.

Once the client approves the outline, then you create the project details and points of development. Your client can review the scope, ask questions, and give approvals BEFORE the project begins. Once they approve the plan... you're ready to get into production with a fully approved, detailed scope of work that breaks the project down page by page. Not only does the scope break down to the page level, it goes to the individual assignment. When the scope is approved, you can get moving instantly, with the click of a button.

Have you ever used the words "Scope Creep", "Out of Scope", or "Uncompensated Work"? If you have, then I'm sure you have also uttered much worse right behind one of these.

Let's face it. The IT Industry has millions of providers who stand ready to take on any number of different projects at any given time. What sets you apart from them? Your reputation for smart, efficient development. How do you keep it intact in a fixed price environment? Well... you develop a solid, bullet proof, fixed price scope. Until now, that wasn't so easy.

With HyperPMA, you make the client an integral part of the planning and dev processes. Collaboration and open communication is key. Once the client approves your plan, all you have to do is click a button. The scope is exported page by page, point by point and becomes your obligation to the client. Now it's time to get to work!

HyperPMA allows you to make your client an integral part of the development process. Regardless what methodology you use to develop your projects, the one thing that is always true is that the client must approve the work in order for you to successfully deliver the project.

As each task or "point of development" is completed by your staff and approved by your internal QA process, the point is then released to the client for their review. If they approve the point, you simply move to the next step. If they send the point back with changes, their "Bugs" are NOT sent back into your production queues until you have confirmed they are in scope and you approve. This method alone has shown increases in project profitability of 20% per project. The best part of all is that your client is not constantly banging you with "Are we there yet?". They are always in the "know".

Back in 2005, we wanted to call HyperPMA "Truth Serum". Contractor and Staff dishonesty isn't something anyone likes to talk about. However, in our industry it is easy to get ripped off. How do you know if they are working? How much are they working? How do you know what they've done for you lately, the past month, week, day, or even hour?

You have three options: 1) A LOT of manual code review. 2) Faith. 3) HyperPMA.

Staff and Production Control is INTEGRAL to your success. Without it, you have slow deliveries, upset clients, and an empty bank account. We created HyperPMA with robust but simple to use reports which tell you exactly what your individual staff members have accomplished, how much has been rejected (QA & Clients), as well as what has been accepted. We have thrown sunlight into the murky shadow land of production. They can't hide. Numbers don't lie.

IT Industry Clients... you have lived through a horrible experience or three while attempting to build your projects. We have listened to hundreds if not thousands of nightmare experiences in our 14+ years in this industry. And to be honest, we've waded through our own fair share of them ourselves. That is exactly what prompted us to build HyperPMA.

In the end, we wanted the client to be on the same level as the developer with respect to expectations and results. "This is what we visualize... our visions are in harmony... watch it unfold." When you hire a developer who is HyperPMA Certified, you can rest assured you are dealing with a firm or freelancer who has top notch planning and production skills. You will approve their plan and their work. There will never be a situation where you have to ask "Where are we at". Because HyperPMA keeps you in the "know".

In today's complex IT development world, most clients do not know how to write a single line of code or what PHP, .NET, or JAVA even looks like. You aren't supposed to! That's the developer's job. But the one thing you do know is how you expect your project to work when it is completed.

The process starts with your developer creating a site or app outline for you. This is expressed in an outline/workflow format. Simple for you to understand. Easy for you to follow. Once the workflow meets with your approval, your developer will write the overviews for each page and the system will create points of development right from those overviews. You'll request whatever changes you require. And once the changes are in, the developer will issue your contract. You can be assured you both are on the same page BEFORE the project begins, and that you get what you pay for.

The number one question clients ask is... "Where are we...", right? Maybe you have to ask that question a lot, but HyperPMA Certified Developer's clients don't. As your HyperPMA Certified Developer works through your project, individual points of development or tasks will be sent to you for your review.

As you approve each point, the statistics update in the system. You can see the percentage of work which has been assigned on a per section basis and what percentage you have approved. In the work queues, you can see how many points are pending QA review and how many points are pending your review. Nothing is ever lost in 'limbo land'. All tasks in your project, their status, and completion rate are always at your fingertips in a completely transparent and on demand manner.

We like to say... "We have poured sunshine into the shadow lands of IT Development." And we aren't kidding.

Bugs... What a dirty word. They are frustrating, aggravating, and a waste of time. HyperPMA's internal processes give your developer the ability to check their staff's work prior to you seeing it. This cuts the wasted time of work reviews to about 20 minutes per 8 hours of work for you. They have to check the work before you see it. Logically if you can see a bug, so can they... right? Well... not always :)

There are numerous issues that may slip through to you such as browser compatibility, display resolution, unexpected data returns, etc. Things happen. In our system the average ranges from 5% to 7% during the programming phases. The industry standard is MUCH higher. HyperPMA gives you the ability to reject work with your requested changes. A complete bug history is stored for each task. If there is ever a question just click. It is all right there at your fingertips!

Complete transparency... in IT Development?! Shut up! We heard you! It is here! Gone are the days of having to wait for a weekly update meeting to figure out if you are on track or not. If you want to know, just sign in.

There are a number of ways to check progress in your project. The summary page displays statistics for each section of development and shows you how many points require your review. The icons for each page in the outline have meaning. Yellow - Work is in process. Red - You have something to review. Green - You have approved everything for that page. In seconds you can see what you need to do.

If you want to go down to the individual page level, you can see every single task that has been assigned, completed, or remains outstanding. You can ask questions, review work, review task bugs, and upload files. HyperPMA is complete transparency.

Roles and Methods

You don't have to change what you do to use HyperPMA. Please understand we have listed the common roles users in HyperPMA assume. This DOES NOT mean you have to have a person for each of these roles. Each member of your staff can have Production, QA, Planning, Assignment, and Reports roles assigned to them. What's more, they can have any combination of these roles assigned to them. This way, HyperPMA wraps around YOUR processes and roles!

A Project Manager can do almost anything in the system. They can create plans and tasks as well as add staff and clients. They control the roles of the staff as well as assign work to one person or multiple staff members within your organization. They can review work, respond to client's queries and bugs, remove points from the system and add new ones. They have the ability to pull productivity reports as well as monitor work flow.

Project Planners have incredible project planning tools at their disposal. They have the ability to manage Section and Points libraries. These libraries can hold commonly used sections or common individual points of development such as sign in and sign up which can be deployed into a plan with the click of a button. They can view, add, edit, and remove pages, points, sections as well as respond to questions and answers from a client.

Production Staff includes anyone who will have production tasks assigned to them. This includes but is certainly not limited to UX/UI, Graphic Designers, Web Designers, HTML Slicers, Front End Programmers, Back End Programmers, Framework Programmers, Mobile Programmers, etc. They have the ability to review the project's plan, view and complete the work which has been assigned to them as well as respond to bugs or QA issues in a lightning fast manner.

Quality Assurance is one of the most important roles in any development operation. In short, they keep your clients' confidence factor high by screening out work the client should not see. QA staff has the ability to see the entire project. They can easily determine what they need to review. They have the ability to approve or reject production work and review and approve or client returns. All returns, both client and QA, are logged. QA's success rates (defined by client acceptance) are available to the Project Manager in Reports.

A client has the ability to review a project plan and collaborate with your Project Planner through the system. Once work commences, they can see all statistical analysis. The system notifies the client when they have work to review. When a client loads up their project, they can instantly see all pages which require their review. The client has the ability to approve or reject work as well as direct questions and comments to non-production personnel such as QA, Planners, and Project Managers.
